Spread widening is just another tool for manipulation.
By widening the spread the fox triggers stop orders beyond resistance and supply levels, without triggering take profit and stop losses.
In other words it sucks more traders in without letting anyone out.
Captain Jack has some tick-charts shown in the thread where you can see it in action.
Apparently Steve Mauro uses it to indicate when price are about to reverse.
I have noticed many times in the London session that the spread widens, despite there being much more action, say compared to the Asian session with minimal spread.
